Matthew 2
1 Now, when, Jesus, was born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, lo! wise men from eastern parts, came into Jerusalem:
Rêng Herod ânlal lâihan Judea rama Bethlehem khopuia Jisua ajuong inzira. Ânzirsuo, harenghan, ârsi tienga lekha inchû ngâi mivârngei senkhat nisuotieng renga Jerusalema an juonga
2 saying—Where is he that hath been born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and have come to bow down to him.
“Khotieng mo Judangei rêng ajuong inzir nâitesen hah a om? Nisuo tienga ama ârsi kin mua, ama chubaimûk rangin kin juong ani,” an tia.
3 But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
Ma roi hah Rêng Herod'n a rietin chu, a mulungjîng sabaka, Jerusalema mi murdi khom an mulung ajîng sa ani.
4 and, assembling all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was enquiring of them—Where is, the Christ, to be born?
Ochaisingei le Balam minchupungei murdi munkhatin a koibûm ngeia, an kôm han, “Khotieng mo Messiah ânzir rang?” tiin a rekel ngeia.
5 And, they, said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, —for, so, is it written through the prophet:
Hanchu, anni han a kôm, “Judea ram Bethlehem khopuia,” tiin an thuona, Dêipu'n hi anghin a lei mizieka:
6 And, thou, Bethlehem, land of Judah, by no means least, art thou, among the governors of Judah, —For, out of thee, shall one come forth to govern, Who shall shepherd my people Israel.
“Judah ram sûnga Bethlehem, nangma Judah khopuilienngei lâia achîntak ni tet mak che; na sûng renga ruoipu alân zir rang ani, ki mi Israelngei ruoi rangpu hah.”
7 Then Herod, privately, calling the wise men, ascertained from them the time of the appearing star;
Masikin Herod'n nisuo tienga mivârngei hah a koi ngeia, ârsi ânlang zora tak hah anni renga a man theina rangin inrûktên ântongpui ngei zoi.
8 and sending them to Bethlehem, said—Go search out accurately concerning the child, —and, as soon as ye find it, bring report unto me, that, I also, may come and bow myself down to it.
Hanchu hi chong hih bê'n anni hah Bethlehem'a a tîr ngei: “Se ungla, nâite hah asadimin va rok ungla, nin mûn chu mi hong ril nôk roi, masikin keima khom ama chubaimûk ke se theina rangin,” a tia.
9 Now, they, hearing the king, went, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east, was going before them, until it went and stood over where the child was;
Hanchu an mâka, male an lampuia an sea, nisuo tienga ârsi dên hah an mu nôka. Ârsi hah an mûn chu an râiasân sabaka, idôr taka râisân mo an ni zoi! Nâite omna chung ridîn aphâk mâka chu inngam loiin an moton a ruoi ngei banga.
10 and, seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy;
11 and, coming into the house, they saw the child, with Mary its mother, —and, falling down, prostrated themselves unto it, and, opening their treasures, offered unto it gifts—gold and frankincense and myrrh;
Insûnga an va lûta, male a nu Mary leh nâite hah an va mua, khûkinbilin chubai an mûk zoi. Neinunpêk ranga an chôi, rângkachak, bero le myrrh (murrah) an kaisuoa, a kôm an pêk zoi.
12 and, being instructed by dream, not to return unto Herod, by another way, retired they unto their own country.
Hanchu, Herod kôm tieng se nôk khâiloi rangin an ramangin Pathien'n inningna a pêk ngei sikin lampui danga an ram tieng an kîrnôk zoi.
13 Now, when they had retired, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph, saying, Arise, take unto thee the child and its mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there, until I tell thee, —for Herod is about to seek the child, to destroy it.
Hanchu, anni ngei hah an mâk suole chu, Pumapa vântîrton inkhat Joseph kôm ramangin ajuong inlâra, a kôm han, “Herod'n nâite that rangin a rok rang kêng. Masikin inthoi inla, nâite le a nu hah tuong inla, Egypt rama rotpui ngei roh, hong nôk rangin nang ki ril mâka chu mahan omchien roi,” a tia.
14 And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, by night, and retired into Egypt;
Joseph ânthoia nâite le a nu a tuong ngeia, hani jân renghan Egypt ram an pan kelen zoi.
15 and was there, until the death of Herod, —that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt, called I my son.
Herod thi mâka chu mahan an omchien zoi. Pumapa'n dêipu bâia, “Ka nâipasal chu Egypt ram renga ko koi suok,” a lei ti hah ajuongtung dikna rangin maha ahong om ani.
16 Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly enraged, —and sent and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its bounds, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men.
Herod'n nisuo tienga mivârngei han an huong ti a rietin chu a ningathik sabaka. Mivârngei kôm renga ârsi ânlang zora roi a riet dungjûiin Bethlehem le a revêla nâipang pasal kumnik nuoitienga murdi chu that riei rangin chong a pêk zoi.
17 Then was fulfilled, that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
Dêipu Jeremiah'n a lei misîr:
18 A voice, in Ramah, was heard, weeping and great mourning, —Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, —because they are not.
“Ramah khuoa in-iek miring rietin aoma, Rangâisie taka chap miring hah. Rachel'n a nâingei ranga a châ; amanu hah tâi thei khâi mak an thi pe zoi sikin,” ti hah ahongtung zoi ani.
19 But, when Herod was, dead, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph in Egypt;
Herod a thi suole chu, Pumapa vântîrton inkhat Egypt rama Joseph kôm ramangin ânlâra,
20 saying—Arise! and take unto thee the child and its mother, and be journeying into the land of Israel, —for they are dead, who were seeking the life of the child.
a kôm, “Inthoi inla, nâite le a nu hah tuong inla, Israel rama se nôk ta roi, nâite that ranga bôkngei hah an thi zoi,” a tia.
21 And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, and entered into the land of Israel.
Hanchu, Joseph ânthoia, nâite le a nu a tuonga Israel rama an se nôk zoi.
22 Hearing, however, that, Archelaus, was reigning over Judaea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid, thither, to go, —and so, being instructed by dream, he retired into the parts of Galilee;
Aniatachu, Archelaus a pa Herod ruthûlin Judea rama rêng a chang ti Joseph'n a rietin chu ha taka se hah a chia. A ramangin rilin a om nôka, masikin Galilee ramhuol tiengkâng han an sea
23 and came and fixed his dwelling in a city called Nazareth, —that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets—A Nazarene, shall he be called.
khopui inkhat Nazareth an tia han anva om zoi. Hanchu dêipungeiin, “Ama hah Nazareth mi tîng an tih,” tia an lei ti hah adikin ahongtung ani.
